I want to build up a Transaction Replication but without Snapshot. I know how to build replication with the Snapshot but this time the request is to build it without snapshot as the snapshot takes a lot of disk space on distributor server. I am using SQL 2008

Please guild me Step by Step process or if there is any Tutorial for it. I appreciate all your help Thank you so much
